Searching for optimal solutions to a problem using lower bounds obtained from a relaxation is a common idea in Heuristic Search and Planning. In SAT and CSPs, however, explicit rel...
This paper focuses on the computation time of evolutionary algorithms. First, some exact expressions of the mean first hitting times of general evolutionary algorithms in finite...
We present a new Bi-level LSH algorithm to perform approximate k-nearest neighbor search in high dimensional spaces. Our formulation is based on a two-level scheme. In the first ...
Although compile-time optimizations generally improve program performance, degradations caused by individual techniques are to be expected. One promising research direction to ove...
Feature selection for unsupervised tasks is particularly challenging, especially when dealing with text data. The increase in online documents and email communication creates a nee...
